So soon I really don't know what to do with alt-energy.<br />sharp crystal drops from gathering do simply not exist for my account besides gathering is a waste of time. npc amnity is a waste of time. alchemy/cooking need to be ridiculously skilled to bother dumping energy into it. Not doing anything with it seems to be a waste.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-9557123496112308942016-07-29T17:27:29.278+02:002016-07-29T17:27:29.278+02:00For crafters it is actually detrimental to buy gea...For crafters it is actually detrimental to buy gear before they have enough cash. You need money to make money and all that. Having a decent amount of cash on hand allows for more crafting/workshops etc and reduces the actual time needed for upkeep because you can buy larger stockpiles of goods at once.arianteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943421690524126587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-84467635760288422972016-07-29T05:06:27.178+02:002016-07-29T05:06:27.178+02:00Gevlon is spot on, and this follows the "Pare...Gevlon is spot on, and this follows the "Pareto Principle", which is a nearly universal truth.<br /><br />In the beginning, the grinder spends 20% of his effort getting 80% of the result... but then the law of diminishing return kicks in, and without the tools or realization that he's executing a huge malinvestment of his time, continues to grind that gear, selling the old, now "worthless" gear to recoup the previous 20% effort while bashing his head against the new cost of 80% to do the same thing.<br /><br />The trader, on the other hand, makes money today to buy that 80% effective gear for the 20% it cost the grinder. And in so doing, is NEVER in the malinvestment range of investing over 20%. There is always another who will step up and pay that rent for him because there is always another who is in the malinvestment range and needs to dump their old, 20% gear.

That's work. You can literally see your worker going out to get materials and your avatar processing it.<br /><br />BDO is especially good field to fight against sociality because it limits pure market flipping and focuses more on positive sum business.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-73073389297896788062016-07-29T04:13:13.097+02:002016-07-29T04:13:13.097+02:00Do you have a counter for the moral high ground ar...Do you have a counter for the moral high ground argument that will come next? Majority of people will still refuse to consider industry because grinding is "real work" while trading is "not playing the game," the IRL equivalent being the boss who "doesn't do anything" while the employee works hard for his paycheck. Some people have enough self-awareness to realise it's their choice to give up greater income for less responsibility, but for those who can see the light, it's extremely difficult to get them to fight social presure and shake those ideals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
